maybe this is a stupid question, but is it possible to say, grow psilocybe mushrooms from spores leftover on the dried mushroom, or say whats leftover in a plastic baggie that contained dried psilocybe? or would they not be well enough preserved to be able to reproduce?

Hrm.. Id say.. the spores will be hard to obtain from dry mushrooms because the spores are dry and the connective tissue that connects to the gills and spore are dry.. So I wouldn't know.. I doubt its possible.. May be IMpossible to take a sporeprint from a dry mushroom..

You cant get a sprore print from a dried mushrooms. But what you can do is take some of the gills and put them on some anti-biotic agar plates to germinate them, and then transfer the mycellium from that into a grain jar.

My suggestion to you is order some spores from a vendor.
